Chapter 175: Different Determinations
The herb is often used to treat insomnia, and after taking it, it will quickly cause people to feel restless and sleepy, but they will not actually fall asleep, unless the person who takes the medicine chooses to fall asleep actively. When Yan Liwu first came to Dingyuan County, she heard that Wen Mohong often had insomnia, so she specially asked people to buy pills made from the gods for Wen Mohong to take, and she never imagined that one day this medicine would enter her stomach.
Xu is running around for days makes Yan Liwu feel tired, or there are too many trivial things backlogged in her heart that make her physically and mentally exhausted, and she can't help but feel sleepy after unconsciously drinking the strong tea brewed in the cocoon pill, and she fell asleep not long after falling into bed.
"I'm afraid that she will taste the taste, so I specially asked the shopkeeper to brew the strongest tea, which seems to work." Bi Xiao pushed open the door lightly, and at a glance, he saw that Yan Li was sleeping deeply, and turned around to let the warmth outside the door into the house.
The wick of the oil lamp had burst open, the light was dim and yellow, Bi Xiao held the copper scissors and cut the wick into a line and dialed it, and the room was suddenly much brighter.
The light is not enough to disturb her worries, but it can make people see her eyebrows, eyes, and expressions more clearly. Wen Moqing did not thank Bi Xiao for deliberately turning the oil lamp to the brightest brightest, and went straight to the edge of Yan Li's bed and sat down, her eyes falling quietly on her sleeping pale face.
"When I first saw her, she was very plump, but now she is as thin as a bamboo pole, and her face is not as rosy as before." Wen Moqing seemed to be talking to herself, curling her index finger and gently scraping her cheeks, still the familiar delicate touch.
Emaciated, emaciated, this kind of cumulative change is difficult to notice, and it often takes a while to be surprised to notice. Wen Moqing was very dissatisfied with this, and he was also very dissatisfied with himself, he always felt that his care for Yan Liwu was really bad, so he made her lose her loss.
When he thought about it, he didn't realize that his eyes were as soft as spring water.
Bi Xiao stood beside her, her eyes catching his every move, but she didn't say anything, as if Wen Mo should be like this, she should have been very gentle with Yan Liwu, focused and seriousβincluding the abrupt act of holding Yan Liwu's hand and kissing it lightly on her lips.
Of course, it still scared Bi Xiao a little.
"Senior brother...... After hesitating for a long time, Bi Xiao called tentatively.
Wen Moqing waved his hand to signal Bi Xiao to speak quietly, pulled up the brocade quilt and covered Yan Li's worries tightly, including the hand that had just been "indecent" by him, and then blew out the candle and closed the door, pulling Bi Xiao outside the room.
"Bi Xiao, the next time I go back to the building, you can ask the master on my behalf how much gift money he plans to give if I want to get married."
Bi Xiao was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, crying and laughing: "If the senior brother wants to marry, the master will probably send Senior Brother Lou as a congratulatory gift." Again...... It's my sister, I haven't heard her say that she plans to marry her brother, is my brother thinking too early? β
"Not early, prepare first, and then marry in three or five years."
First of all, she was told by Ye Lingxi that she seemed to have a change of heart, and then witnessed Wen Moqing's bold move without shying away, and the news she learned in the past two days really caught Bi Xiao a little off guard, but fortunately, although it was unexpected, it was all things she liked to see, but she was a little uneasy.
Looking back at the closed door, Bi Xiao lowered his voice: "I probably can't let go of the second prince in my heart, is the senior brother so confident?" In the past few days, she has been in a very low mood, listening to Ling Xi say that when the house was surrounded that night, she rushed forward as if she was worried or even dying, and even Zhong Yue was almost frightened. I think she probably felt uncomfortable and had nowhere to vent, after all, she had been in love with the second prince for so long, and it must be very uncomfortable to suddenly find that many things were kept in the dark, so senior brother should slow down. β
Between Wen Moqing and Yan Li's worries, Bi Xiao can be said to be the only person who is very close to both parties, and she has long had the intention to match the two, so it is not difficult to accept Wen Moqing's sudden initiative.
Wen Moqing rubbed her sour and hard neck, and her tone was quite nonchalant: "If she is the kind of person who is looking for death and life for a wrong relationship and can't extricate herself from it, I won't go to great lengths to chase her here." As for me and her, I don't plan to explain it to her for the time being, but it just so happens that I've been in some trouble lately, so I'll solve it together after we deal with it. β
Bi Xiao sighed lightly: "Miss Helian?" β
"Well, it was rumored that she was the messenger who wanted to live in Qinglian Palace." Wen Moqing lowered his head slightly, his expression complicated, "In this case, it is necessary to reconsider the identity of the Qinglian King." β
Once the matter involves the Qinglian King, Bi Xiao will always have a sense of foreboding.
Helian Mingyan once had a personal relationship with the Qinglian King, and lived in the Qinglian Palace for several months as a gentleman who taught the Qinglian King's dancing skills, although he suddenly assassinated the first emperor and almost affected the Qinglian King, but Helian Mingyan still showed closeness to the Qinglian King every time he mentioned it, but this friendship should not have reached the point of taking the initiative to ask to live in the Qinglian Palace to remember. Bi Xiao did not have much contact with Helian Mingyan, and only learned from Wen Moqing and others that she had a very high status and status in the Hosdu Empire, assuming that the Qinglian King was related to Helian Mingyan, then the origin of the Qinglian King may be able to get a glimpse of it.
With a slight sigh, Bi Xiao leaned on Wen Moqing's shoulder like a child, with a blank look on her face: "Senior brother, if you really decide to be with Liwu, what should Miss Helian do?" Also, what should Bisheng do? β
"I said a long time ago about Mingyan, and when she said goodbye that day, we had already broken off our relationship; Bi Sheng's side will be left to you to find a way, I really can't stand her willfulness, and if she continues to mess around, maybe one day I will really turn my face. β
Xu is two of them spoke a little loudly, and the guy in the front hall downstairs looked up at the stairs, Wen Moqing frowned, and finally looked back and closed the door.
"I'll go back to the house first, and then I'll have to write to tell the emperor where I'm going. In the past two days, I will ask Zhong Yue to find a hidden place to live and take you over, you and Liwu will not show up in front of people as much as possible, especially her, I hope no one can find her, it is best to disappear in the eyes of the emperor from now on, understand? β
"Understood, senior brother said that it would be good if you want to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, you don't have to explain so much." Bi Xiao is rare and playful, and after sending away Wen Moqing, she returned to the room, and covered the quilt for her worries before falling asleep.
The tranquility of the small inn in Dingyuan County was built on the turmoil of the imperial capital, and Wen Moqing's arrogant escape from the palace had caused an uproar in the previous dynasty. Wen Jingyuan was furious in the imperial study, and almost said that he would go out to copy the Dingyuan Palace. Even Song Zhi took Zhao Gonggong, and he didn't know what he said to Wen Jingyuan, and when Wen Jingyuan went to court on the second day, he could no longer see anger on his face, only an impatient expression that he didn't bother to pay attention to, not only did he not hold Wen Moqing responsible, but explained it in front of the ministers.
The most affected in this turmoil is the fourth prince Wen Mozheng, who disappeared mysteriously because of his words, and the marriage that was promised in advance cannot be counted, Wen Mozheng has to endure the fingers of others on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to be sad for Wen Moshu's sudden indifferent attitude. Jun Wunian said that there was nothing wrong with doing this, and the young prince, who had always lacked sensitivity to the judgment of the situation, was helpless, but he finally felt a little more guilty about his words and Wen Moshu.
Even so, Chu Ci was still not very satisfied with Wen Moshu's approach.
"Your Highness's biggest flaw is that he is indecisive and unwilling to come forward. Especially in matters related to the four princes, His Royal Highness has always held an attitude of giving in, which has led to no one restricting the new emperor, after all, with the scheming experience of the four princes, it is difficult for Boss Jun to take the right measures to deal with some sudden situations when he is not around. β
"Usually you always say that Mo Zheng is too upright and inflexible, even if you have the assistance of Boss Jun, it is difficult to become a climate, since this is the case, why do you have to be on guard against Mo Zheng in a thousand ways? After all, he is my sibling, and it is extremely unkind to alienate him, and I am quite angry with him for the sake of worry, but I can't let me treat Mo Zheng as an enemy, right? If it is to get the throne, the six relatives will not recognize it, and all the relatives will betray and leave, this throne is too heavy and cruel. β
Wen Moshu's rebuttal was all within Chu Ci's expectations, shaking the folding fan to calm down, but the light in his eyes was as sharp as before: "I didn't let His Highness regard the four princes as enemies, but reminded His Highness not to be careless to anyone." Sparks can start prairie fires, dripping water can pierce stones, and the most inconspicuous people can often become legends. Besides, what's wrong with His Royal Highness's defense of the four princes? How did Boss Jun do it, and how did the four princes do it, His Royal Highness is clear in his heart, and he doesn't need Chu to say much. β
Wen Moshu was silent for a moment.
Wen Mozheng, whom he treats as his own brother, the other prince he has always been unable to bear to compete with, how has he treated him for more than a year? sent people to spy on him and conceal all kinds of things from him, and when the emperor pointed out the person he liked to Wen Mozheng as a concubine, Wen Mozheng accepted it silently without the slightest resistance, completely ignoring his brother's feelings.
Wen Mozheng is still young, and many of his actions are bound by Jun Wunian's influence, but despite this, those choices are ultimately made by himself, and in the face of brotherhood and lofty ideals, Wen Mozheng finally chose a more rational future.
Now, as another prince who has been avoiding it, what about him? How should he choose his brother, who also has the strength to compete for the throne?
Wen Moshu was reluctant to fight, but he knew that at this time, he could no longer hold back or tolerate him, even if he was facing a sibling, even if he was treated as a close relative since he was a child.
Otherwise, the pain of losing something beloved will come again.
The usual sick face was a little more tired, but the eyes that had been dark for many days lit up, and there was no lack of wisdom, but also a daunting firmness and coldness.
"Chu Ci, have you found out where you left your worries?"
The son, who looked like a jade, muttered: "There are abandoned houses outside the city that have been attacked by a group of people, and the traces of the fight are very messy, among which the larger one has returned to the imperial capital, and the other side has about four people, and they are going to the south by carriage, and it is not surprising that they should go to Dingyuan County." β
"The prince disappeared during that time, if he also went to Dingyuan County, it just makes sense." Wen Mo closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said slowly, "I have to go to Dingyuan County, the imperial capital will ask you, at most half a month, I will definitely come back." β
The envoys of the five countries have not yet left Dayuan, and it is definitely not a wise move to leave at this time. Chu Ci propped his cheeks, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is Your Highness not confident in yourself, or is she not confident in Miss Yan?" Some time ago, it was to the point of talking about marriage, right? β
"Confidence......" Wen Mo smiled negligently and bitterly, almost inaudible sigh, "It's okay if Liwu was forcibly taken away, I don't have to worry about anything, I'm most afraid that she will take the initiative to leave with the son of the world - if she is disappointed in me because of the marriage, I am afraid that she will not look back after this departure, and the only one who can accompany her is that man." β
Without any warning, fragmentary memories suddenly flashed in his mind, which made Wen Moshu's heart ache suddenly.
He never ignored the words and worries when he was with Wen Moqing, the expression on her face at that time was a relaxed and real thing that he had never had when he was around, and the invisible but closely connected relationship always made him yearn for it.
